Tom Blumer, You’ve Come A Long Way Baby!

It’s clear wingnut bloggers DO NOT want to give Obama any credit. Most of their kudos are centered around the actions of the snipers and the commander on the ground. Nothing wrong with that, but clearly the President was involved and twice gave a specific green light for use of military force to rescue the captain.

So much for just about all the weak and feckless attacks on President Obama’s leadership. We’ve now gone from “he may be a terrorist” to “he just helped kill 3 pirates (terrorists)”. You’ve come a long way baby! I commend all the right wing bloggers who have swallowed hard and given their Commander in Chief the kudos he deserves in this situation. No need for backhanded compliments. I would rather you just said “thank you,” and went on your way.

Update: Quick over/under on how long until we hear wingnut bloggers ask why Obama is not declaring war on Somalia and/or declare war on pirates and nations who harbor or support pirates? I put the line at 3 days and I take the under.
